Differential positioning of adherens junctions is associated with initiation of epithelial folding

During tissue morphogenesis, simple epithelial sheets undergo folding to form complex structures. The prevailing model underlying epithelial folding involves cell shape changes driven by Myosin-dependent apical constriction(1). Here we describe an alternative mechanism that requires differential pos...
